Fun in the water


So, I kinda had the day off and so did Roberto and since we just purchased Sea World Annual Passes, we decided to take Jake to Aquatica. The weather was perfect, a little overcast. Jake had to wear a life jacket so he was able to move around more freely. This park was better for him since it had a cove for little guys his age with 2 1/2 ft of water which was perfect.




 




When we got home, I threw some steaks on the grill and we ourselves a nice surf n turf. We added snow crab legs.

Here was tonight dinner. A bold dish perfect to serve for company.
